The rearview mirror heating switch of the Baojun RC6 is located on the center console and is shared with the rear windshield heating. The icon is a rectangle with three upward wavy lines inside. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirrors manually and thus reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, thereby clearing the mirror of frost and condensation. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves the addition of electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. Therefore, when using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly: Crack open the side windows to allow air convection between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car’s air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help, as blowing hot air from the AC can effectively remove fog.

I've been driving the Baojun RC6 for almost two years now, and the rearview mirror heating button is indeed a very practical design. It's located in the air conditioning control area on the center console - that button marked with a rectangle containing three upward wavy lines, which is the same button for rear windshield heating. It works particularly well on rainy days; once pressed, the water droplets on the mirrors disappear quickly. However, note that it only works after the engine is started - pressing it otherwise won't have any effect. Once during heavy rain, I forgot to turn it on before getting on the highway and almost couldn't see the adjacent lane when changing lanes. Now I've developed the habit of checking it before setting off. About ten minutes of use each time works perfectly - keeping it on too long just drains the battery. If the button light doesn't come on when pressed, it's most likely a blown fuse, which can be fixed by replacing it with a new one costing just over ten yuan.

Last time my friend borrowed my Baojun RC6, he specifically asked where the rearview mirror heating was. I told him to look for the small square icon with three wavy lines on the center console panel, right next to the air conditioning button. This feature is perfect for the rainy season in the south—it starts working about five minutes after pressing it. However, I discovered a little trick: it's best to turn it on before driving, so when the wipers clear the water droplets, the heating effect becomes more noticeable. Once during winter freezing rain, the rearview mirrors iced over, and turning on the heating actually melted the frost. If the button doesn't work, don't rush to the repair shop—first check if you accidentally pressed another button or if the car hasn't been started yet. You can turn it off anytime when driving in the city to save power.

The rearview mirror heating button of the Baojun RC6 is located in the center control area on the right side of the steering wheel, sharing the same button with the window defogging function. It's the rectangular icon with wavy lines. Pressing it activates heating for both left and right rearview mirrors simultaneously, providing great peace of mind during rainy drives. However, in actual tests, it takes about three to five minutes to take effect, so patience is required. I usually combine it with rain repellent spray during heavy rain for double protection. Once, I noticed the button light was on but the mirrors weren't heating up – it turned out the heating filaments were damaged, but they were replaced for free under warranty. Now, every time I wash the car, I remind the attendant not to spray the mirror surface directly with high-pressure water to avoid damaging the heating elements. This feature is also very practical when entering or exiting underground parking garages with significant temperature differences, as it quickly removes fog.

New drivers of the Baojun RC6 might struggle to locate the rearview mirror heating function—it's actually among the bottom row of buttons on the air conditioning panel. The button features a rectangle with several curved lines, integrated with the rear window defogger. Press it to activate (indicated by the illuminated light), which proves incredibly handy during rain or snow. I first used it during a sudden downpour on the highway when the mirrors were completely fogged up; the heating function restored clarity in about ten minutes. However, avoid prolonged use—the manual recommends no more than fifteen minutes per session to prevent excessive battery drain. Last week, I encountered a stuck button that wouldn’t release, only to discover dust buildup in the slot; a cotton swab fixed it. For optimal performance in humid conditions, activate it in advance.

The rearview mirror heating button of the Baojun RC6 is located in the central control air conditioning area, marked with a curved square icon. Pressing it activates both the rearview mirror and rear window heating. As someone who frequently drives in rainy weather, this feature has helped me avoid several scratches. However, there are two points to note when using it: first, the vehicle must be running for it to work—pressing it when the engine is off wastes battery power; second, the rearview mirrors must be kept clean, as mud splashes can affect the heating efficiency. Once, I heard a sizzling sound during heating and found out it was due to aging seals on the mirror housing letting water in. I fixed it myself with waterproof tape. Also, try to avoid parking under trees, as sap can corrode the mirror surface and impair heating performance. This feature is also very useful during foggy conditions in spring and autumn.
